White House: 'the President Is Not a Liar'

The White House angrily denounced suggestions that the president and his administration had lied and defamed in a bid to quash an investigation into ties with Russia, following bombshell testimony by fired FBI chief James Comey.

"I can definitely say the president is not a liar and frankly am insulted by that question," White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said during a briefing at the White House.
